Sunderland Pink Lustre 8” Jug 1796-1850

Classification:- Jug

Description

On left:-

A west view of bridge over the river Wear.

In centre under spout:-

The verse bordered by floral design all in black

"Swiftly see each moment flies,

See and learn be timely wise'

Every moment shortens day,

Every pulse beats life away,

Thus thy every heaving breath,

Waft thee on to certain death,

Seize the moments as they fly,

Know to live and learn to die."

On right:-

Conventional View of K.S. Temple between two pillars flanked by two female figures Justice & Mercy with a mirror and head turned away.

"The World is in pain

Our secrets to gain

But still let them wonder and gaze on

They ne'er can divine

The Word nor the sign

O' a free & an Accepted Mason."

In centre under spout:-

"I envy no one's birth or fame,

Their title, train or dress,

Nor has my pride err stretch'd its aim,

Beyond what I possess,
